Czechoslovakia

From the journal of "HI" a marvellous teleporting space wizard sent from the future. (This explains my knowledge of future events, and why I never use conventional means of transportation. This also helps explain the apparent typo in the title of the blog.)

I have recently teleported to Czechoslovakia.

Things are interesting in Czechoslovakia. Less than 50% of the people here are actually Czech. In addition I have noticed a large number of Germans living in the Sudetenland. Initially I fear a Nazis invasion, but am comforted upon realising Hitler is attending a meeting with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin.

I am outraged with the outcome. The fool Chamberlin attempts an appeasement with the Nazi leader. Chamberlin thought that if Hitler was given what he wanted there could be peace. Chamberlin didn't understand what Hitler REALLY wanted… the world. The Munich Plan was established which loosened the restrictions on Germany. Hitler wanted the Sudetenland in exchange for peace. Chamberlin sold out Czechoslovakia to Hitler. There were a few things Chamberlin did not know about the Sudetenland that I did from spending time in it.

  1. Czechoslovakia had built up strong defences in the Sudetenland to protect it from foreign attacks. It had focused so many resources in that area that it left the rest of Czechoslovakia unarmed.
  2. A substantial amount of resources and supplies were located within the Sudetenland that would augment Hitler's forces tremendously.
  3. Once the Sudetenland was acquired by Hitler, it would be a simple matter to annex the rest of it.

In 1939 Hitler would annex the rest of Czechoslovakia and put an end to appeasement. I would then watch in horror as the Germans dismantled the Czech army. However, it was still rather peaceful in Czechoslovakia, I knew it was because Hitler wanted to extract all the resources he could from Czechoslovakia with little resistance. However, the Nazis would institute violence once more destroying the towns of Lidice and Lezaki. Things became worse with the use of the death camp Theresienstadt, located in Terezin. I later found out a quarter of the prosonners died there due to nbearable living conditions. There was nothing left of Czechoslovakia for me. I must go.
